Here's my list of ferret ailments.... Nelson (died at the age of 4 yrs.) chocolate MF, male - lymphoma Jasmine (died at the age of 8 yrs.) marked white, MF, female - insulinoma and adrenal Max - 6 yrs. sable, MF, male - had left adrenal, 2 lge. nodules on his pancreas, 2nd mast cell tumor removed at the age of 5. Had his first mast cell tumor removed at the age of 4. Bandit - 6 yrs. sable, MF, male - left adrenal tumor removed at the age of 5 Rascal - 6 yrs. sable, MF, male - left adrenal tumor just removed on Friday 4/5/02. Right adrenal is small but a funky color, BG was 81. Now watching him for signs of insulinoma. Willie - 6 yrs. albino, MF, male - healthy to date, no medical problems except for rat tail every spring. Abby - 4 yrs. sable, MF, female - healthy to date, no medical problems at all Sydney - 2 1/2 yrs. sterling silver, MF, female - healthy to date, no medical problems at all. Rascal was one of our original 3 ferrets we adopted in 1999 and the last of the original 3 to have adrenal surgery. With all the debate on MF, I am not going to get in the middle of it, however, I would like to point out that 5 of our 8 have had problems, we've lost 2 in the last 2 years and they are all MF ferrets. Coincidence? Fluke? I'm really wondering at this point.
